Urban Village Population in Malaysia: What Really Determines Social Engagement?
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
The city is a habitat of focus by people who are seeking a desirable quality of life. The influence of rapid urban development has actually had a direct effect on the urban village population, which has adapted to the ever-complex urban development environment. This study argued that the urban village population’s ability to enjoy good-quality social life would manifest itself in a strong social engagement among the population. This study found that although the majority of the urban village population were Malays, the multi-ethnic composition that exists in the surrounding urban village areas had formed a close and tight relationship. The findings showed that the urban village respondents representing three different urban levels such as Kangar (town), Alor Setar (city) and George Town (city) had a balanced perceptual value regarding social involvement. Meanwhile, the analysis related to the perception of the respondents from all three cities showed the existence of a significant relationship at p<0.05, as well as the weighted score in percentage form for the respondent’s social involvement indicators according to cities with a high standard of living.
